MIND BLOWN!!!!!

Not only was the backing band the total **** - every single one of them were monsters, but Lopez and Zavala were ****ing insane! Imagine two dudes who have already drank a gallon of coffee and eaten a pound of sugar, and then were shot up with a huge dose of pure meth right before hitting the stage.

Un-****ing-believable, even thinking back on it all these years later.

This is The Mars Volta I love. Too bad they devolved into Omar finding out which random guitar licks sound the best and Cedric drinking tea on stage and getting mad at people for moshing.

but the boring parts are especially boring, like the **** is this elevator rock that's been going for days

they should really trim their songs sometimes, some parts come up with nowhere near enough substance to justify the length at which they bore

To borrow from Trump, you've lost your mind.
